Festive Fun and Christmas Preparations at Our November Drop-In Session

Members of Headway Huddersfield & District enjoyed a wonderfully festive evening at our latest monthly Drop-In Session, held on Wednesday 4 November 2026 at the Lindley Methodist Church Centre.

The session marked the beginning of our Christmas celebrations as members gathered to catch up with friends, share experiences, and enjoy a creative evening together in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Looking Ahead to Our Christmas Lunch

One of the highlights of the evening was the long-awaited reveal of the menu choices for our annual Christmas Lunch, which will take place on Wednesday 2 December 2026.

Members were able to view the available options and begin making their selections, generating plenty of conversation and excitement about our final gathering of the year. The Christmas Lunch has become a much-loved part of the Headway Huddersfield & District calendar, providing an opportunity for members, families, carers, volunteers, and supporters to come together and celebrate another successful year.

Getting Creative for Christmas

With the festive season fast approaching, members also enjoyed a Christmas-themed craft activity.

The group spent the evening creating a variety of Christmas wreaths and tree decorations, showcasing plenty of creativity and festive spirit. From traditional designs to uniquely personal creations, everyone had the opportunity to get involved and make something special to take home.

As always, the activity provided more than just an opportunity to be creative. It encouraged conversation, social interaction, confidence building, and plenty of laughter throughout the evening.

The Importance of Our Drop-In Sessions

Our monthly Drop-In Sessions continue to provide a welcoming space for brain injury survivors, family members, carers, and supporters to meet others who understand the challenges and experiences associated with brain injury.

Whether attending for practical support, social connection, or simply a friendly chat over a cup of tea, these evenings play an important role in helping people feel connected and supported within their local community.

Looking Ahead to 2027

As our Christmas Lunch takes place in December, there will be no Drop-In Session during December.

The monthly sessions will return on:

📅 Wednesday 6 January 2027🕖 7.00pm – 9.00pm📍 Lindley Methodist Church Centre

Our Drop-In Sessions take place on the first Wednesday of every month, and we always welcome new members.

Thank You

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the November session and helped make the evening such a success. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the activities, sharing stories, and supporting one another.

We look forward to seeing everyone again at our Christmas Lunch in December and then back at our Drop-In Sessions in the New Year.
